Posted Apr 22, 2013Loving the plugin, but have a quick question. Could you point me in the direction of where I can edit the 'The Event has been cancelled b/c there weren't enough players' message? I can't seem to find it.
Thanks!

Yay!! yeah, that was frustrating before.
@xion87
You can change nearly all of the messages in the messages.yml file. If something isnt in there to be customized let me know and I'll add it.

I'm going to be adding special chest handling. But if you select the chest with worldguard, then do ./arena alter <arena name> addregion. Then you can use the wgResetOption in whichever stage you want to refill the chest.
@Lakuspakus
So you have nTeams: 4, which means regardless of what you have for the forcestart time, it will need 4 teams.
change that to
and it should work fine.
@UberBosser
change any of the configs to
nTeams: 2 teamSize: 1and do a /<game> reload
that will make them 1v1
@MadeOke
Deathmatches are by default a "JoinPhase" game type, where you have to open and start them.

@rsod
I use TagAPI. What do you mean by compatibiility?
@1337ingDisorder
Ack, yeah. I try my best but sometimes reloads just dont work right.
@XeonG8
What do you need help with? Usually when the wiki is talking about the config its talking about the individual Game type configs.. like FreeForAllConfig.yml
Otherwise, I try, and I'll try to clean that up even more.
@Mozzi3
As all classes are perm based.. You can always make the perms as part of ranks/groups.

Posted Apr 21, 2013Just a quick suggestion, maybe classes can be made for certain ranks/donators?

go to: BattleArena/competitions/arenaconfig.yml (doesn't have to be arenaconfig.yml. Do it in the gamemode you want.) Then change: nTeams: 2 teamSize: 1
That should work by only allowing 1 person from each team in.

Posted Apr 20, 2013@Lakuspakus:
I've found that sometimes happens when you change the config and then you use BattleArena's built-in reload function.... It says it reloads fine, but then when you join a game you just get in an infinitely-waiting queue.
The solution I found was just to reload the entire server.

Posted Apr 20, 2013I set the enableforcestart to "true" and 15 seconds. Nothing happens, still sitting in the queue waiting until there is 8 players in the arena. This happened the last time I tried this plugin as well, a couple of months ago. The only thing I dont like or understand.
Any fix out there?
